Why Knives Went Nuts

Chapter 3: Nighty-Night Boys Part 1

"Knives…" Vash waited for a reply in the dead of the night.  "Knives… Knives… Knives…?"

No reply came.  Vash decided to chant his twin's name until he did answer.

"Knives Knives Knives Knives Knives Knives Knives Knives KnivesKnivesKnivesKnivesKnives! KNIVES!" Vash chanted to the melody of the song played at baseball games.

"WHAT IS IT!?!" Knives yelled.

"I hungry," Vash replied.

"Let's see," Knives opened a drawer and pulled out a box of chocolates.  "Here.  Take some."

"Ooh Valentine's chocolates.  Who'd ya get these for Knives?" Vash asked.

"They were supposed to be for my boyfri—I mean girlfriend… but I forgot to give them to her."

"BWAHAHAHAHAHA!" Vash laughed uncontrollably.  "FLUFFY HAS A BOYFRIEND!!!"

"Stupid Vash," Knives grumbled.  "I didn't mean to say that."

"What mean 'stupid'?" Vash blinked cluelessly.

"Stupid- dumb, moronic, completely lacking intellect," Knives replied.

"Huh?"

"Never mind…" Knives growled.

"Fluffy has a boyfriend!  Fluffy has a boyfriend!  Fluffy has a— OW!!  Knives!  That hit a no-no zone!" Vash yelled, picking up the chocolate Knives had thrown at his behind.

"Next time I'll aim for a more painful no-no zone," Knives threatened.

"I no want chocolates no more.  Here," Vash tossed the chocolate back to Knives.

"Disgusting!  I don't want it!  It's been under your butt!" Knives batted it back.

"Just kidding.  Me like chocolate... even if it has been under my tushie," Vash smiled.

"You are so gross.  Twins must be opposites."

"Can I have more?"

"You haven't even eaten the first!"

"So?"

"Fine.  Here," Knives tossed several more at Vash, a couple hit Vash in the 'more painful no-no zone' Knives had threatened to hit earlier.  "Fifty-fifty.  Dead even.  Satisfied?"

"I can't eat this many chocolates this late.  Take one back," Vash tossed a chocolate back, which happened to be the one which had hit him in the rear end.

"Not that one!" Knives threw it back.

"Why not?"

"It's the first one I threw at you!  It hit your butt!"

"Okay Knives," Vash smiled and mixed all the chocolates he had together.  Picking out a random one, he threw it to Knives, "I don't want the first one Knives.  Take it."

"Okay," Knives caught the chocolate, "The one that hit your butt was wrapped in purple, by the way.  This isn't it.  This is red."

As Knives unwrapped the chocolate and popped it into his mouth, Vash just smiled.  "I switched the wrapper…"
